Balaguer: La violencia del poder is a raw, unfiltered dive into the political turbulence of the Dominican Republic from 1966 to 1974. It captures the atmosphere of uncertainty and tension as Dr. Balaguer ascends to power and the nation's struggle with its identity. The pacing feels almost methodical, reflecting the slow churn of history, while the documentary's use of archival footage is striking—it's gritty and real, pulling you into the era. There's a heavy weight to the themes of power and oppression, and it feels distinctly personal at times, almost as if you're witnessing the struggles of a nation through the lens of its people. Definitely not your typical documentary; it leaves a mark well after viewing.
